It should be straightforward to define a container for xml content in
wml with just a few lines of code: 

<: use XML::Parser :>
<define-container xml>
<preserve style>
<set-var %attributes>
<:
{ 
  # set up a handler or style depending on 
  # qq(<get-var style>), see man XML::Parser

  my $parser = new XML::Parser(Handlers => ... );
  $parser->parse(<<'__WML_XML_BODY_SEPARATOR__');
%body
__WML_XML_BODY_SEPARATOR__
}
:>
<restore style>
</define-container>

Yours, Florian.
